Warbases' MOD Hut

 

This is a Warbases' MOD Hut C. It might be a bit late for Flat Caps and Truncheons, having a more 1930's feel.

Like previous builds, the interior was sprayed with Colour Forge Ghoul Grey.
The windows and doors were masked up and the exterior sprayed with Plastikote Rust effect paint.
This was then covered with Army Painter Fur Brown.
The brick work was painted with mixtures of various greys, Army Painter Chaotic Red, black and Army Painter Fur Brown.

The brickwork was washed with Citdel Agrax Earthshade.
The roof was sprayed with Colour Forge Ghoul Grey and a misting of Citadel Chaos Black.
The doors and windows were sprayed with Army Painter Angel Green

This building has doors at both ends.

It has windows only on one of the long sides.

Peaky Blinders - The official Guide

 As I mentioned at the end of my first post about Flat Caps and Truncheons, I have never watched Peaky Blinders. I was in my local The Works (other discount book sellers are available) a couple of weeks ago and saw this on sale.

It has a number of colour photographs of the cast, set and vehicles, which I thought would be useful reference as well as descriptions of the production.

Flat Caps and Truncheons

 Flat Caps and Truncheon is a two player starter set for The Chicago Way game from Greate Escape Games. The Chicago Way is set in Prohibition era Chicago, this set transports the action to Interwar Birmingham, inspired by the BBC series Peaky Blinders.

The game comes in a large box.

The box contains fifteen 28mm scale white metal figures and fifteen standard Renedra 25mm round bases (I used Wargames Atlantic 25mm dual use bases for the figures so I cound have a flat blend in with the puddle bases on the figures).

There are seven Peaky Blinders figures including one with a Lewis Gun and another withh a WW1 German submachine gun.

There are seven City of Birmingham police, three with rifles, two with pistols, one with a truncheon and a plain clothes one with a pistol.

There is also a Molly Suffolk character.

There are the required cards, both generic The Chicago Way and Flat Caps and Truncheon specific ones, plus a set of markers. There is also a character card for Molly Suffolk.

There is a standard The Chicago Way rule book, and a three leaf fold out sheet with three scenarios and the stats for the police and criminals.

I was rather disappointed with the latter, I had hoped for more details on the set up (I have never watched Peaky Blinders).
